Enter this sauce pot from Crate and Barrel. By permanently affixing the basting brush to the lid, it reduces the chance that your barbecue sauce misses your burger and ends up on your picnic table. It also protects your sauce from ants, flies, and dirt, and keeps your brush fully loaded and ready for use. The brush is made of easy-to-clean silicone, although you may want to hand wash it, as it is permanently attached to the lid.
The sauce pot with its integrated brush is available for $24.95 on Crate and Barrel's Web site.
Just in time for Valentine's Day, Crate and Barrel has released a slew of gadgets to help you give your sweetie something delicious.
You can give your significant other a stack of perfectly shaped heart pancakes. You can create two sizes of hearts at once, or leave the middle of the pancake open to hold fruit or other treats.
If you want a fancier design, you can buy the scalloped heart mold. Both are nonstick and have handles to help keep your fingers safe. However, they are not dishwasher safe. Bummer; I guess that's more work for someone on Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day cupcake stencils are great for an afternoon delight. Get it?
(Credit: Crate and Barrel)If you're not a morning person--or just won't wake up to make pancakes--you could bake some cupcakes for your sweetie. Crate and Barrel followed up its holiday cupcake stencils with a Valentine's version. The stencils help you create flawless decorations on your baked treats. They're $4.95 for a set of six 4-inch stencils.
I have one opener for bottles and another for jars. Even still, there are plenty of items that I can't open in my kitchen without resorting to all sorts of desperate maneuvers in my attempts to remove packaging. I've used scissors, knives, and even tin snips to get at my food.
Crate & Barrel's 6-Way Opener has just about every tool I could need for opening packaging (excluding the tin snips), though. With it, I can clear out all those different openers and use just one item to get into jars, bottles, and more.
The 6-Way Opener was designed with a variety of common types of packaging in mind: bottle tops, pull tabs, safety seals, jar lids, and snack bags are all considered proper usage for this opener. It's dishwasher safe, too, saving me from the worries of whether I really got everything off my jar opener when I spilled half a jar of sauce all over.
Best of all, the grip is plastic and silicone. For those of us without especially strong grips, this opener is ideal for making sure that we have the leverage to get into jars and the like, without hurting our hands.
